Hi,
FlexCel DLL was made specifically to support Delphi 6 or newer, so we can't use stuff like TEncoding, which was added much later. So, in FlexCel dll you specify the encoding by passing a string from: Code Page Identifiers - Win32 apps | Microsoft Learn

The other thing is that old delphi versions won't automatically resolve widechars in overloads, so in the text below I used WideChar(';') but that's not needed in Sydney. I just wrote it so people in older versions will be able to use the solution too.

xls.Open('eFileImport.Text', TFileFormats_Text, WideChar(';'), 1, 1, nil, '', 'utf-8', false);

Perfect, il works properly.

Thanks a lot
